    Sweet Baby is now the size of an English Hothouse Cucumber
    26weeks2
    Oh my goodness!  Our Sweet Baby is extremely active these days!  Just yesterday when I went to get a cleaning I felt her swim from left to right and even saw her!  We are more than half way over and just cannot wait already.  It’s so exciting!!  Thankfully pregnancy has been good to me.  No complaints and I’m happy as could be! 🙂
    26weeks
    About our baby:   The network of nerves in your baby’s ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. She may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner’s as you chat with each other. She’s inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when she’s born and takes that first gulp of air. And she’s continuing to put on baby fat. She now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber) from head to heel. (summary and weekly image from babycenter)

    About me: Loving every moment of being pregnant, just a few short months to go!
    How far along? 26 Weeks 2 Days   
    Total weight gain:
      14lbs
    Maternity clothes? Not yet, just bigger sizes.
    Stretch marks? None yet
    Sleep: Off an on.
    Best moment this week: Visiting my family!! 🙂

    Worst moment this week: Seeing my grandma in the condition she is 🙁
    Miss Anything? Being able to bend over and shave without getting out of breath.. Phew.
    Movement: Yes! 🙂
    Food cravings: Still Grapefruit, Honeydew, and Riceworks Salsa Fresca!
    Anything making you queasy or sick: Raw ground meat/chicken.
    Gender: Baby GIRL!
    Labor Signs: No.
    Symptoms: Heartburn and ligament pain
    Belly Button in or out? Same, in.  Just getting closed in!
    Wedding rings on or off? Off.
    Happy or Moody most of the time:  Happy! 🙂
    Looking forward to:  Getting the glucose test done and over already!
